Plausible, the encryption scheme even changed between the two releases.

Yes, that's what I meant:

I've now looked at /tmp, "after logout", in tty2. That same file i previously mentioned, kwallet5_kdemeoz.socket, was the only one therein containing the string kwallet. I cannot tell from your question; is this file's existence a good thing or a bad thing?
I then Ctrl+Alt+F7'd back to the login screen, logged in, was pleasantly surprised that this time the start-music did play, but alas kwallet was still broken... ie, as soon as i tried to connect to my VPN i was [as usual] asked for my wallet password, which [as usual] was rejected, after which [as usual] my attempt to connect to my VPN was also rejected. Sigh.
Still in the graphical session, in Konsole i ran sudo systemctl restart sddm. As usual, though this did restart the session, the new session post-login still had a broken wallet. I returned to tty2, & therein repeated my sudo systemctl restart sddm, but [can you guess?] the new session post-login still had a broken wallet.
Now i once again gave up & did the full reboot, after which all is good again... but the next time i want or need to logout/in, this whole mess will repeat.

"Plausible, the encryption scheme even changed between the two releases".
Are you implying that my decision to reuse my Mint's encrypted /home partition when i installed Maui into root, was bad practice & therefore contributing to my hassles now?
